Linville’s Ridge is named for Jim Linville. Jim initiated the creation of the ridge trail that overlooks South Pasture and the Yampa Valley from the Steamboat Mountain School Mountain Campus. Linville’s Ridge was one of his favorite spots to walk his dogs, Ruby and Deso.

James Richardson “Jim” Linville (September 19, 1947 – April 19, 2021) was a dedicated educator, environmentalist, and community leader in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Jim devoted over two decades to teaching at The Lowell Whiteman School (now Steamboat Mountain School), where he was known for his passion for education and mentorship. Beyond the classroom, he was an avid mountaineer and a committed volunteer with Routt County Search and Rescue, contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of the local community.
